Our next attraction....
4th Annual 10-minute Play Fiesta 10x10 Squared “We
Are All Space Monkeys” by Belinda McCulloch Read more about the writers and their plays...
And previously this year....
Picnic Playreadings 3 new scripts given rehearsed readings in a relaxed setting – feedback discussions & forms – participate in development of Brisbane’s new plays and playwrights!!! b.y.o. picnic or … cheap tea/coffee/ bikkies available. Bring a comfy cushion or two!! Seating is on carpeted, wide steps. THREE fascinating new plays – very different styles – very different subject matter – two 2-act length (looking at selected scenes); the other 35-40 minutes. TWO are by Emerge writers we’ve heard from before – Patrick Carr and Ben Cornfoot – and David Burton is a young writer new to us but he already has some excellent work under his belt including involvement with QTC. David’s play - Shotgun was part of the Queensland Theatre Company's Young Playwrights Program in 2007. The play looks at contemporary Australian masculinity through the eyes of Mark, an auditor in his late twenties. Mark is shaken when his younger sister, Louise, falls in love with a man three decades her senior. The relationships quickly spiral into surprising places. Shotgun is a comic and moving experience for its audience. Ben’s reading is of the next exciting scenes from his epic play Roland in Space. After his session with the psychologist, Roland heads for England and a range of humorous, amorous and just plain weird adventures. Patrick’s play is very topical. Local football hero is accused of raping a devoted fan. Who can we believe? Him? Her? Neither? Final Score delivers more tantalising questions than it answers.

“27” by Joaquin Povea-Gonzalez “.. in an unnameable country yesterday is today’s nightmare.” Directed by Karlo Bran Students in a university hostel think they are partying with a group of fellow students but the truth is not only disturbing, it is terrifying. These students discover that they must deal with the shameful past – which echoes all around them - before they can build a new future. "27" is a rich, strong play about terror, fear and forgiveness. and Voyage to Prester John a musical odyssey Composed by Bernard Houston Featuring Geoff Ahmet on guitar, Jai Farrell Oboe and Tim Johannessen percussion. Narration by Daynan Brazil Medieval and renaissance Europe was entranced by the myth of Prester John – both the “person” and a fabulous land filled with riches and magic. The lush instrumentation features guitar, strings, oboe and an assortment of percussion and takes inspiration from music that evolved where African and European cultures met.
Tripping by Peter Smith Tripping is the story of four young, disabled people who leave their small-home town in South Australia and head to Brisbane. To the four adventurers Brissie is the city of warmth and youth, and of endless possibilities. Changing a tyre is a Herculean feat. Buying maximum chips and pie floaters becomes a farce. Picking up a hitch-hiker turns into an operatic confrontation. But this comedy is never sentimental. Playwright, Peter Smith, deals daily with his own disability and he never lets his characters off the hook. They are beset with all the usual human emotional and personality flaws and strengths. Peter takes them on a journey of escape and hope -- and takes the audience deep inside the hearts and minds of this little disabled tribe. The triumph of the play lies in how well we come to know these people and how much we care about them by the end of their odyssey. Peter has been working on the play with the Emerge team since July last year. It has had three public readings – and dozens of e-mails and phone calls between Peter and Artistic Director Errol Bray – as the play grew from a handful of scenes into a full two-act play. As Emerge will only develop work with the playwright present, Peter has made the journey to Brisbane several times in the past year, once doing it the hard way, just like his characters, by road -- bus and hitch hiking in his case! Cast: Amy Ingram; David Keirnan; Nick Dale; Alastair Osment; Tamara Meade. Directed by Errol Bray. Production manager Jane Broadbent. Audio-visuals by Stephen Brodie. Design Concepts and poster by Jaz Muhling.
